A Northern Circuit Flying Safari
This itinerary encompasses the main parks in the north and is a private safari. Whatever your budget, a private safari is only slightly more expensive than a minibus safari with 6 other people.
Day 1: Lake Manyara National Park You are met in Arusha and depart for Lake Manyara National Park, to enjoy a short game drive in this small but very attractive park.

Days 2-4: Serengeti National Park Drive to the Serengeti National Park. The Serengeti, undoubtedly the best-known wildlife sanctuary in the world, is home to the highest density of game in Africa as well as being unequalled for its natural beauty.
The vast bellowing herds of wildebeest move north through the Serengeti from February to July and return from the Maasai Mara in late September. Morning and afternoon game drives to enable you to follow some of the millions of animals and the daily drama of their lives. Three nights at the Serengeti Serena or Sopa Lodge
